  1. Hi I agree with your 'thoughts' ,when reading about what some people expect when they get to Australia is laughable ,wife works in uk but doesn't want to in Aussie or wants less hours wants4bed house with swimming pool(,never got in uk ) it don't matter where you live if you want something you have to work to get it,and of course it will make a difference where you decide to settle Sydney-Brisbane - Gold Coast-Perth-London- Birmingham- Devon- northeast- northwest,
  2. Hi,look at the 143 contributory visa for parents,you would have to be in Aussie and have residence for 2 years before they could apply it's not cheap but nothing like a million dollars!!!
  3. Hi,sense all the impatience for the April'movers' hang on in there it will soon be over for you then it'll be the turn of the May movers to get hyped !! had a bit of a schock from my daughter,she sent a photo of a SNAKE outside her front door when she got home from work!!! what with ants ,flying insects,getting bites on the beach,kangaroo using the path fenced off from neighbours,what am I thinking!!!

  5. We haven't told anyone in the uk yet,daughter in Oz told to keep it to herself for now,couldn't handle the stress at the moment!
  6. Hi kath,try not to feel discouraged you WILL get there!,it's hard to understand all this red tape,time-wasting etc,wouldn't mind if it wasn't costing a big pot of cash!!!! Ruby
  7. Hi,I'm sure I read somewhere that they don't ask for aos until you have been cleared by police checks and medical?
  8. Hi fisher 1, have you thought of phoning university/ college, we did a few years ago for Bulgarian translation, didn't cost too much and they used 'headed ' paper!ruby( don't forget to send original with translation to police checks)
  9. Hi fisher1, have you have you tried to phone university/ college,we did a few years ago for Bulgarian translation, didn't cost much and they used university headed paper ! Ruby
  10. Nyorksgrannie We are going to do police checks in November to get it out of the way then wait for medics ,house will go on the market this time next year hopefully sell before we have to activate visas,should have them(all things crossed!!) by June 2017
  11. Our agent had us fill in form80 with the application for visa,if it has to be altered I'm sure she will let us know,only going to Aussie abroad this year last year Portugal, agent will still have form so will be checked before it goes off ?
  12. Hi fisher1,centre link won't ask for the bond until medics and police checks have passed so you'll know your visa is going to be granted when they have proof the bond has been lodged,getting there!!! We used photos and passport to get ten years of travel , would odd weekends count?, good luck!
  13. Hi,I think I can 'feel' the stress all you 2014 are going through,I have a long way to go so got plenty more time to take it easy but looking at all the posts on here and getting loads of information ,thanks to you all and keep it coming!!!ruby
  14. Hi fisher1,the Aos is $14,ooo for two ,after medics police checks your sponser will be notified to make an appointment with centre link for interview they will be told when to pay the fee and how to send proof back after been to commonwealth bank(the only bank they will deal with) then payment for visa will be requested then visa will be granted ,ruby
  15. Hi Alan collet from go Matilda,anywhere 'we 'can check to see how medicals is progressing
  16. Hi fisher1,Gosh,more stress for you,stay positive,if only they would be more direct about what they want from us we can get it all done before going for medicals, ruby
  17. It could be a non contributary on shore visa with bridging visa takes years and don't take medical when applying ?or maybe medical when applying then again when nearer time for pr.
  18. Hi fisher1,I looked t the police check form and decided to print it off,we can take our time in filling it in without putting any dates in yet,get any 'papers' we need etc. Then when it's nearer to send put dates in,get endorsed ,post,.i also came across a form that has to be filled in and taken with us when we go for medicals?

  19. Hi Phil can you transfer as much as you want to another ausie(daughters)account or is their a daily limit,we are both com wealth,not much information on their website .ruby
  20. thanks Phil,the exchange rate is important and as it ts slowly going down I think it's time to put some away for 2nd vac,if for some reason we don't get visa it wil be in the bank for visits ,we won't be putting house on the market till after meds/ police checks so long time to wait hope rate goes up again by then!! Ruby

Hi Phil as your nearly at the end of your travel can you (or any other 'oldie'),give details about banking the fees in Aussie we opened an account when over,minimum amount no cards,have online banking,thinking of starting to send money over because of the rate,what about tax on interest and anything you think might be helpful .ruby
  22. Aged'parent reads onshore,going out on tourist visa and 'hoping' all goes well the way I read it,I think it was stopped for a few months a while back then reintroduced , we looked at lt and decided the 'stress 'for us is better being in the waiting room,65 is no age if your in good health,winter is nearly over and Spring is on the doorstep.ruby
